  • Systems and methods for delivering content over a computer network
    Patent number: 7225264
    Abstract: Systems and methods for, inter alia, allowing a remote user to access content, such as data or an executable program, on demand from a remoter server. When accessed the content can be delivered on demand to the user's remote workstation for use by the user. As network resources may vary, the systems described herein further include systems that will monitor network resources, and other factors, versus the transfer demands for the content requested by the user. The systems may then determine a schedule, or load map, for transferring blocks of the content in a way that efficiently employs the available resources, and in a way that provides the user with a user-experience that is similar, or substantially similar, to the user-experience that the user would have if the content were stored locally on the user's workstation.
